    Hey all,

    Right in the middle of an edit client wants to see takes I had not captured yet, and it was working fine. Closed the capture wincow, did some more edits, and then launched the capture window for another look at uncaptured footage, all of a sudden, little blue letters in the capture window that say “no video input.” Trashed prefs, repaired permissions, still no video. Client let me rough cut with what I had but wtill want to see options. What to do????

    Decklink SP, latest drivers, they’re coming back in the AM and are expecting I’ll have this fixed.

    SHut down for 10 minutes…run to the store and get yourself a snack. Come back, power things up.

    If that doesn’t do it, try zapping (resetting) your PRAM. DO you know how to do that?

    Hey Shane,

    I did shut down and run to the store for a bee…snack, starting up again. With the first new project open I am getting video again, whew!!!

    So in case I need to, how do I reset the Pram?

    Restart the computer holding down the OPT-APPLE-R-P keys until your computer chimes 3 times. Then let go.

    Hmmm…the new project sees the video, but the old one doesn’t? Corrupt project?
